Israel commits Gaza genocide under world’s ‘watchful eye’, ICJ told
"The International Criminal Court Hears the Gaza Genocide Case as Israel's War Continues" – The International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague heard harrowing testimony this week as South Africa presented its case accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza—a conflict unfolding, as one lawyer put it, "under the world’s watchful eye." The historic hearings have rekindled global debate regarding Israel's military offensive, which has resulted in the deaths of over 34,000 Palestinians, the displacement of 1.9 million people, and the destruction of much of Gaza. "A Calculated Destruction of Life"

The 1,000-Year Lifespan: Mystical Accounts of Pre-Flood Humanity in Sumerian and Biblical Texts
A Time Before Time Imagine a world where human beings lived for thousands of years, a time when the lifeline of a person stretched across centuries, where wisdom was passed down like a living thread from one generation to the next. In the ancient texts of both the Bible and the Sumerians, this vision is not merely myth; it is the reality of a forgotten age, one that predated the cataclysmic Great Flood that, according to legend, wiped out the ancient world.

What Happened to American Soldiers After the End of World War II When World War II ended in 1945, millions of American soldiers, sailors, and airmen were scattered across Europe, the Pacific, and other parts of the world.

When Citizenship Was Defined by Race: The Pivotal Supreme Court Cases of 1922/23
I've been teaching sociology courses for a while now and one thing that surprises me (and maybe it shouldn't) is the lack of knowledge many students have of this country's racial history. Yes many of us know about slavery and the civil rights movement generally, but the issue of race goes much deeper than the cursory paragraphs of our high school history books.

The Deadly Legacy of German U-Boats From World War I to World War II
The Deadly Legacy of German U-Boats From World War I to World War II The First World War marked the beginning of a new era in naval warfare. Traditional battleships and fleets still played crucial roles but lurking beneath the waves was a new and terrifying threat the German U-boat. Short for Unterseeboot meaning undersea boat these submarines wreaked havoc on Allied shipping lines and changed maritime conflict forever. By the end of World War I the numbers told a chilling story. A total of 274 German U boats were responsible for sinking 6,394 merchant ships and approximately a hundred warships. This was not just a disruption of military logistics it was an assault on civilian supply chains crucial for sustaining Britain and its allies. Food arms fuel everything needed to sustain a war effort and civilian life was at constant risk. The U-boat campaign pushed Britain to the brink of starvation and remains one of the key examples of the effectiveness of unrestricted submarine warfare. However despite their success Germany's U-boat campaign in the First World War ultimately failed to secure victory. The Allies countered with convoy systems improved anti submarine tactics and technological innovations like sonar limiting the submarines' effectiveness in the later stages of the war. Still the psychological and strategic lessons were clear submarines had the power to tilt the scales of war.

K2-18b’s Life Hints Spark Cosmic Clash
Imagine a planet 120 light-years away covered in vapor where data hints of alien life flicker—a celestial inkblot testing humanity's need to believe. Last week, K2-18b, a “Hycean” world with oceans and a hydrogen-rich sky, became the universe’s newest Rorschach test. Scientists claimed its atmosphere bore fingerprints of dimethyl sulfide (DMS), a gas tied to Earthly plankton. Have we found E.T.? roared the headlines. However, at this point, skeptics are slamming the brakes and claiming that scientists are seeing shapes in cosmic static. Enter the James Webb Space Telescope—humanity’s ultimate truth-teller—now caught in a crossfire of interpretation. While one team insists they’ve spotted life’s graffiti in the starlight, others argue the signals vanish under scrutiny, dissolving like smoke in a black hole’s grip. Is this the dawn of astrobiology’s holy grail, or just another cosmic mirage? The search for alien life has just become more chaotic, louder, and infinitely more contentious, so buckle up.
